Early learning experiences that support number and counting knowledge are essential for children and provide a foundation for learning more advanced math concepts later on in school. Build on your children’s natural interest in numbers by immersing them in variety of experiences that cultivate, enrich and reinforce their understanding of numbers.

Incorporate numbers and counting into everyday experiences. Many common household tasks involve counting. Encourage your children to point and count cups, plates and silverware as you set the table. Count cookies, goldfish or pretzels as you set out a snack. Count crayons and markers, as you get ready to color. Count stairs as you walk up or down them. Count shoes, boots and gloves as you put them on and take them off. Count blocks as you build. Helping children learn about numbers and counting is easy and daily repetition and practice is important building little ones’ number knowledge and math confidence.

Playtime is another great time to count and work with numbers. Help your children identify and learn what the numerals 1 – 10 look like and support their developing knowledge of numbers. Make the numerals 1- 10 with Play Dough. Play games that involve numbers and counting like Uno and HiHo! Cherry-O. Counting books such as: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Suess, Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh and Chicka Chicka 1-2-3 by Bill Martin Jr., Michael Sampson and Lois Ehlert guarantee hours of counting fun. Sing songs and play finger rhymes such as Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate!
